So far I have come home from school via foot, car, bicycle, and, most recently, ambulance. But that mode of transportation was only because of my bicycle. I was coming down the hill after school and heard a POP!-hiss sound. My first thought was that my front tire had blown out, but for a second everything was going round round like it should. But in the next second the air left the tire. The bike and I took a rough landing on the asphalt. I picked myself up out of the road and called to the woman on the street. She offered to drive me back to my apartment but my head decided it needed me to lay down on the sidewalk. She went inside to call an ambulance. The paramedics arrived shortly and decided I did not have to go to the hospital. Besides the shredded hands, road rash shoulder, various bruises, the only injury is a purply crooked finger. The paramedics gave me a ride home since they were heading my way anyway (and I hope they don't send me a bill for it). All in all, my head is fine, no body parts fell off, my iBook stayed safely in its pouch so my gripe is minor. Needless to say, bicycles are not as much fun anymore. I'll take the car, thanks.
